If this is your first batch of dumplings ever, then I'd recommend going with the soupy base you see here. Once you get the dumplin(g)s down, you can start to experiment with thicker, more interesting stews.

Hey! Love dumplins!
When you were spooning out the dumplins at the end, I thought... HEY why not put the pan under a broiler for a few minutes at the end and get them BROWN!!???
Think it would work?
My kind of recipe .. I will definitely be trying this one :)
Hey Chef John! Another great recipe! And here's hoping you hook up with Nadia G. to make a little "bella figura" video! lol! Ciao!
Finally, a real dumplings recipe - I do this with beef stew as well! Thanks Chef!
the way they look?
aaaaaaaaaaaa mouth watering!
Am making this RIGHT NOW.. smells glorious... thanks John.
I want to make this right now, but I having just seen this, my chicken is still frozen. Do you think I could put a frozen chicken in the pot and boil it for two hours instead of one? Thanks Chef John!
let it thaw!
Google searches for 'jalapeno vinegar' totally went up after you posted this video, Chef John.
Thomas Keller has a chicken and dumplings recipe that is absurdly complicated. For example, one step requires the cook to construct a parchment paper pot lid for sweating the mire poix.
However, he makes the dumplings with a choux batter seasoned with Dijon mustard and chives, shaped into quenelles, then parboiled before incorporating into the soup/stew. They are remarkable: not quite biscuit consistency, nor starch-laden gut bombs.
I like your chicken fat roux. It really does add a nice, silky body to the soup.
Yummy, made it tonight for dinner and LOVE it, the best dumplins!
Also curious what brand whisk you have, I have gone through so many it's frustrating.
As Always, Thanks!
Chef John, you don't have to post this, but i just thought i'd remind you that we're still waiting for those braised lentils you promised us a while back (on the grilled tarragon yogurt chicken).
Lookin forward
Chef John my love, it's time for me to buy a dutch oven. May I ask what size you're using?
Looks awesome! How do we make the jalapeno vinegar garnish?
I believe that's 9 quart. But 7 is fine. Get the biggest you can. :)
I am soooo making this but adapting it for my mini le crusset cast iron caserole dishes for a dinner party:) Thanks chef:)
This is really the way should be, clear soup / consomme with dumplings. In Germany, nobody makes a STEW with dumplings.
Made this for dinner last night.
It ROCKED!
Thank you Chef John!
This recipe was spot on without being complicated! the dumplings were light and the stew was perfect with the quick roux. thanks again for a simplified delicious recipe!
Thank you for the perfect dumplings - my dumplings have varied between light, and almost hockey pucks! Rolled and sliced dough are noodles AFAIK! And lastly, thank you for having color in your soup-stew - there's nothing less appetizing than single-colored chicken and dumplings, ewww!
I dont have a dutch oven yet. Can I just make this recipe with a regular big cooking pot? Big enough to hold a chicken and all the water of course.
yes!! go for it! :)
mmmm I'm making this right now. My husband will be home in about 1/2 hour and I can't wait! I was going to post earlier and ask about using a rotisserie chicken and bouillon cubes (I didn't want to, but budget is tight and I wanted to make it TONIGHT). Anyway, I made it with the above mentioned, and the soup tastes great! I tasted the dough to the dumplings, and I"m sure they are going to be splendid! You may think I can't tell that way, but I've tasted many doughs in my day. Also, I have never made any kind of dumpling soup before. I used some different seasonings, just because I didn't have them on hand so I had to substitute. For example, sage for bay, and Franks Red hot for cayenne pepper. Also added a little garlic and no celery. Sorry I am rambling. It is just so exciting!
Mr. Chef John, I lost my job a couple months ago and now I am a stay at home engineer husband working on building the 'next big thing'. My wife supports us by working. When she comes home, I've greeted her with these dumplings, and in the past, ribs, split pea soup, jambalaya, etc. All from you. Thanks to you our relationship (and budget) is doing well in this uncertain time. For that I am grateful to you. Thank you for making me 'the total package'.
Thank you, thank you! My mother and I have been looking for not just a good dumpling recipe/method, no luck -- they all failed in her opinion. This recipe, however, was magic. These were absolute perfection.
P. S. - She's 80 and a picky eater so this saves me a ton of problems getting her to eat something other than chocolate.
Also, I used a regular old pot, turned out great just watch the heat.
Making this now - realised at the last minute that I didn't have any milk in the house (!?) so have doubled up on the culured butter milk I was using. Hopefully it comes out ok, it smells great!
hello .............the chicken and dumplins were delicious...love the sour cream addition one day I will share my moms kapustata reciepe...keep up the good work my friend Warren in Alva fl...
hey i am half way through maing this and realised i have no sour cream or yoghurt i only have whipping cream and milk. that ok or no?
use half milk and half cream!
Dear Chef John,
I tried this out and really enjoyed the dumplings. Unfortunately, I really wanted the broth to be thicker. To that end, I considered thickening it with a blonde roux. I'm hesitating because you mentioned this might effect the way the dumplings steam. Could you expand on this concern? My thought is that it might take longer for the dumplings to steam properly and that, in that time, the broth could burn at the bottom. Am I right or ought I just do it your way? ;-)
That's the worry, but give it a try! Just make sure to use a thick bottomed pot!
They are wonderful! I always put a lot of herbs when making dumpligns,it gives nice look and very good aroma.
My husband and I make our Chicken and Dumplin's like this but add a little dill to the soup mix. Wonderful Wonderful.
I decided to make chicken and dumplins for dinner and came here only to find that the video is gone. Is this permanent or merely a temporary glitch?
Dear Chef John,
Would the simmering portion of this recipe be appropriate for cooking the chicken for use an another recipe? Let's say, for example, your Buffalo Chicken Dip.
No because you are losing flavor from the meat into liquid.
I made this dish tonight and it was wonderful! I added one can of cream of chicken soup for flavor and fresh chopped chives to the dumplings. Great dish!
Chef John,
Don't we need to skim the scum off during that 1 hour?
Yes, that's standard for any stock.
Thanks for responding re: scum. But in your video, you do not skim off the scum. You just simmer for an hour....?
your dumplings looked really good even though they were not suet ones which are the best think ill try this
Hi, great dumplings! I did mine in too shallow a pot and the dumplings started to squash up against the lid, so I took the lid off and put the pot under the griller (broiler for my American friends), just until done, not brown, and they were still great, light and fluffy. Trying them again over a beef carbonnade (deep pot this time!)

Loved the dumplings. Put them atop some turkey soup I had in the freezer. Man, they were good! Can't wait to make some more
This has become one of our faves. Last time we cut the dumpling recipe in half and it worked well. We also added the juice of half a lemon and garlic cloves.
The self rising flour does the trick!
Chef John may I please have the recipe for the Jalapeno Vinegar? Thank you.
It's just the liquid from our pickled jalepenos video! Check it out.
We tried this tonight. Made our usual chicken soup and added in the dumplings onto. I really liked it. thanks
Sounds like a great plan to me!! Good thinking! Enjoy and thanks!
Hello Chef John
I've just found your site looking for a dumpling recipe. I am excited about making this dish but I do not have fresh thyme. Can I use dried thyme?
Hello Chef John
I've just found your site today. I am excited about making this dish. However, I do not have fresh thyme. Any suggestions? thnaks
Just use a little dried then.
Of course I made a few additions of mushrooms and garlic. The Creme Fraiche gave the dumplings great taste and texture. The family loved this dinner.
Chef... this chicken dumpling soup is ridiculously good... i added a bit of cream in the end to rich it up
If you have a bigger chicken (5.33 pounds to be exact) do I need to simmer the whole chicken longer than the one hour, or not?
If you have a bigger chicken (5.33 pounds to be exact) do you need to the whole chicken longer than an hour or not?
Yes, I would give it another 30 minutes or so. Enjoy excavation point
So yummy and easy! I'm living in South Korea, so it can be hard to find very specific ingredients, but this recipe was super simple. I would say it was just like Mom used to make, but it was much better!!!
Check end of ingredients! That's why I put an "*" ;)
Chef John,
I'll be trying this soon and would like to pair your dumpling recipe with your Goulash recipe. Do you think that would work?. Thanks.
I made this last night. As the weather was rainy/crappy all day, and the wife had a hard day at work, I thought it the perfect day to try some comfort food. It came out amazing! I had to vary the dumplings slightly as I didn't have any SR flour, but they still came out great.
Thank you Chef John! I'm learning so much from you. Not just the recipes, but also tips and techniques.
Hello I'm new to this and am trying this for the first time...my boyfriend is a chef so it's a little intimidating to cook for him but I love to cook...I looked up so many recipes and yours seemed the simplest and the best so far cooking chicken...One question what is creme fresh? Lol hope I spelled it right haha...Thank you again looking forward to trying more of your recipes...
I try a new recipe every Sunday for my families dinner. This week I made your White Bean Chicken Chili with the breast meat, they all loved it. This is the next recipe I am trying, my son loves chicken and dumplings and I've been searching high and low for an easy yet delicious recipe. I think this one will do!
I really want to try this recipe, but I don't think my boyfriend and I could eat all the dumplings in one sitting. Do they store okay in the fridge on top of the soup or does it get soggy?
They kind of stay the same, which is pretty soggy to begin with since they are in the same. ;)
Just made this. I was thinking the dumplings would be amazing and the soup would be kind of meh. Totally the opposite! The soup was out of this world! I guess it's because I'm from the South but I found the dumplings to be a little off. Down here, we make dumplings that look really slimy and gross -I know I'm selling this dish really well- but they taste amazing and have a nice, dense texture. It was fun to try these though!
I made this for dinner tonight and it was absolutely delicious. thank you for the recipe and the video. I enjoy your videos immensely.
You can make the dumplings with out the cream. They are not as soft but it does work. :O)
I made 1/2 a batch of dumplings.
This is THE PERFECT DUMPLIN' RECIPE!!!
So fluffy and delicious, since I've made this chicken dumpling soup my boyfriend doesn't even like chicken noodle soup anymore :) So delicious and comforting and soothing when you're ill (or if it's cold outside).
Looking forward to eating this later!
Hi chef john!
If i'm allergic to eggs, can i substitute it with other ingredient? Thank you :)
Hey Chef John,
I made this on Sunday and my broth did not come out very chicken-y. What do you suggest? In my pinch, I threw in two chicken boullion cubes and it still was not very chicken-y. Was my chicken too lean? (I used a whole chicken, about 4 lbs as you stated).
For all practical purposes, all chickens taste the same. It just needed more salt!
I'll be sixty this yr and i have eaten one dumpling to date it was like eating a huge rubbery noodle I couldn't believe how these looked so bread like inside can't wait to try them :)Thx Chef John
Hello Chef John, it says food withes so here it is. How about Swabian dumplings? The best dumplings in my opinion. They are rich and can be combined with various side dishes.
Made this last night on a broth of cream of chicken soup with some bone-in chicken thighs and carrots slow-cooked in it. Cut the dumpling ingredients in half (like all your recipes, this is way too much food for me and my husband) and still ended up with twice as many dumplings as we could reasonably eat. They were very delicious though, so next time I think I'll just double the chicken and soup parts and have leftovers.
This recipe is definitely a win!
Hey, it even works on ennui.
Pardon my French.
Hello Chef John! I absolutely love your youtube and website. I halved this recipe, carefully, using chicken thighs, and OMG it is wonderful. The stew is fresh and simple, and these dumplings! So good! Thank you!
I made this ... the chicken soup came out delicious but dumplings fell way flat .... I don't understand where it went wrong as I followed the recipe precisely .... they were extremely bland
"They're real and they're spectacular"
Nobody noticed the Seinfeld reference??

i have configured a cluster with 4nodes on CDH5.3 and now i want to install RHadoop on that cluster but i didn't find documentation on how to do that.
Can you provide me some details ?
Best regards,

I don't think there's anything special to know, beyond what's documented in the RHadoop subprojects. So it's not something that we ship, support or document separately. I have set up the rhadoop libraries with CDH and it's straightforward.
It's really a set of client side libraries that you install into *R*, not *Hadoop*. However to run rmr2 you will need R installed locally on all of your Hadoop cluster nodes, since it will run MapReduce jobs that execute R scripts.
I recall that you have to install a bunch of other R packages before installing the rhdfs/rhbase/plyrmr libraries, and I found this in my notes as the set of prerequisites:
install.packages(c("Rcpp", "RJSONIO", "bitops", "digest",
"functional", "reshape2", "stringr", "plyr", "caTools", "rJava",
"dplyr", "R.methodsS3", "Hmisc"))
Created 04-13-2015 04:07 PM
I am working on installing R and RStudio on CDH-5.3.2, but I found one issue when I install rmr2
install.packages("/home/ec2-user/R/rmr2_3.3.1.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type="source")
[javac] /tmp/RtmpVvuf0G/R.INSTALL341d4f985503/rmr2/src/hbase-io/src/java/com/dappervision/hbase/mapred/TypedBytesTableInputFormatBase.java:164: error: cannot find symbol
[javac] String regionLocation = table.getRegionLocation(startKeys[startPos]).
[javac] ^
[javac] symbol: method getServerAddress()
[javac] location: class HRegionLocation
In the source code, line 164 is like this:
String regionLocation = table.getRegionLocation(startKeys[startPos]).
I searched API and could not find method getServerAddress() for HRegionLocation.
The problem is that I download rmr2 from this link https://github.com/RevolutionAnalytics/RHadoop/wiki (as in this instruction: https://ashokharnal.wordpress.com/2014/01/16/installing-r-rhadoop-and-rstudio-over-cloudera-hadoop-e... So the issue could be this tar.gz file is for CDH-4.
Do you know where can I download source code for CDH-5 ?
Created on 04-13-2015 04:19 PM - edited 04-13-2015 04:20 PM
I suspect it is because the rmr2 integration code is compatible with an older version of HBase than what is shipped in CDH 5.3.
The link you cited returns a 404 for me, but, it seems to me that you are in fact using the latest rmr2 and building from source, which is the right thing to do. I have installed rmr2 on CDH 5.2 before. There aren't special versions you need to find.
I dug out my notes to myself on how I installed several of these libs before. Maybe they help? For example I installed them differently with R CMD. Of course you may wish to use later and more recent versions of these libraries than what's mentioned in the notes.
Basically you just... export HADOOP_CMD=`which hadoop` R ... library(plyrmr) and go to it. HOW TO Copy packages rmr2_3.1.0.tar.gz rhdfs_1.0.8.tar.gz plyrmr_0.2.0.tar.gz to nodes at, say, /tmp. For each node: export HADOOP_CMD=`which hadoop` export HADOOP_STREAMING=`ls /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH/lib/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-streaming-*.jar` As root, install R: yum install R This installs version 3.0.2 on my cluster. Run R to install some dependencies R --vanilla Once in R: install.packages(c("Rcpp", "RJSONIO", "bitops", "digest", "functional", "reshape2", "stringr", "plyr", "caTools", "rJava", "dplyr", "R.methodsS3", "Hmisc")) (choose a mirror that's local when you are prompted) Install packages, back on the command line: R CMD INSTALL /tmp/rmr2_3.1.0.tar.gz R CMD INSTALL /tmp/rhdfs_1.0.8.tar.gz R CMD INSTALL /tmp/plyrmr_0.2.0.tar.gz

I suspect it's some issue in the version of tar you may have on your system? BSD vs Gnu? Just a guess. That or maybe a corrupted file? The latest rmr2 archive uncompressed OK for me on OS X. https://github.com/RevolutionAnalytics/rmr2/releases

Coast Guard advises holiday season boating safety
NEW ORLEANS — The Coast Guard advises the public to exercise safe boating practices this holiday season as changing weather presents hazards on the Gulf Coast and inland rivers.
All mariners, rivermen and water enthusiasts are advised to increase their awareness to the dangers of hypothermia, as freezing temperatures are forecasted on the northern parts of the Mississippi, Ohio and Illinois rivers. Along the Gulf Coast, weather conditions remain mild on average; however, the incidence of sinking vessels and collisions involving injuries or fatalities can occur at any time, regardless of calm conditions on the water.
Since Oct. 1, the Coast Guard has responded to 310 search-and-rescue cases, saved 96 lives and assisted 406 persons in distress; however, 22 lives were lost. Two women and one man died Dec. 6 after their vessel reportedly struck a bridge piling and capsized in Choctawhatchee Bay, Fla. The submerged vessel was located in 28 feet of water near the Mid Bay Bridge. The Coast Guard searched 91 square miles over a course of 10 hours with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to locate the three. The cause of the incident is under investigation by the FWCC.
In an effort to increase the safety of people on the water this holiday, the Coast Guard recommends the following:
Stay informed. Be sure to check the local weather prior to departing the dock. Weather can change very rapidly and boaters should keep a watchful eye on the forecasted conditions. The public should monitor the National Weather Service, local television and radio reports. Boaters can monitor weather patterns, fog and developing storms on channel on VHF-FM marine-band radio; small craft advisories are also available on channel 16.
Always wear a life jacket. Since there is little time to reach for stowed vests when accidents occur, wearing one at all times reduces your risk of drowning. Federal law requires you to have a personal floatation device on board for each passenger.
File a float plan. A float plan is simply letting family and friends know where you are going and your expected time of return. File a float plan with someone who is not getting underway with you and stick to the plan. If you change plans, contact the person. A float plan assists responders in the search of an overdue boater who may be in distress.
NEVER boat under the influence. It is illegal to operate a boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs in every state. There are stringent penalties for violating BUI/BWI laws, which can include large fines, suspension or revocation of boat operator privileges and jail terms.
Protect yourself against hypothermia. Invest in a dry suit or other Coast Guard-approved full-body floatation survival gear. Although Gulf Coast water temperatures are still relatively warm during the winter season, the threat of hypothermia is still great. The human body reacts to 50 to 60-degree water the same way as it does in 70 to 80-degree water with prolonged exposure. As soon as a person's core body temperature drops below 95 degrees, hypothermia sets in and occurs 25 times faster in cold water than in cold air. A person in the water not wearing a life jacket can lose body heat from efforts to remain afloat. Once the shivering stops, the body is no longer able to heat itself, and the person can lose consciousness and drown.
Be aware of carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide is a deadly gas produced any time a carbon-based fuel, such as gasoline, propane, charcoal, or oil burns. It is colorless, odorless and tasteless. Sources on your boat include gasoline engines, generators, cooking ranges and space and water heaters.

There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test Jesus and said, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?" He said in reply, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself." He replied to him, "You have answered correctly; do this and you will live."
But because he wished to justify himself, he said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" Jesus replied, "A man fell victim to robbers as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. They stripped and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead. A priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. Likewise a Levite came to the place, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him was moved with compassion at the sight. He approached the victim, poured oil and wine over his wounds and bandaged them. Then he lifted him up on his own animal, took him to an inn and cared for him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction, 'Take care of him. If you spend more than what I have given you, I shall repay you on my way back.' Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers' victim?" He answered, "The one who treated him with mercy." Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

Jesus Sends Out the Seventy two:
1After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 3Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.
5"When you enter a house, first say, 'Peace to this house.' 6If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you. 7Stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house.
8"When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is set before you. 9Heal the sick who are there and tell them, 'The kingdom of God is near you.' 10But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, 11'Even the dust of your town that sticks to our feet we wipe off against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near.' 12I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
13"Woe to you, Korazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. 15And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to the skies? No, you will go down to the depths.
16"He who listens to you listens to me; he who rejects you rejects me; but he who rejects me rejects him who sent me."
17The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name."
18He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
21At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.
22"All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."
23Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. 24For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it."
The Parable of the Good Samaritan:
25On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
26"What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?"
27He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'[c]; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
28"You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live."
29But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
30In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. 35The next day he took out two silver coins[e] and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'
36"Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"
37The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him."
Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."
At the Home of Martha and Mary:
38As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!"
41"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, 42but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."
(Luke 10)

One player comes up with a word that doesn't have an obvious opposite. The word is presented and each of the other players individually decides on a word they believe to be the original word's opposite. Players answer by synchronized reveal (see "Giving Answers" in the introduction) and the opposites are compared. The players who submit the most popular answer win points for the round. Moderatorship then moves to another player.
Some history on this game was written up in the SF Chronicle. Amongst other bits:
Opposites Attract was invented by David Scott Marley, and there has been a continuous game on the Well (www.well.com) since dinosaurs walked the earth.

Beta-blockers are used for hypertension as well as for a variety of heart conditions.
Drugs that fall into this family include
There is some evidence that beta-blockers (specifically propranolol, metoprolol, and alprenolol) might impair the body's ability to utilize the substance coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ 10).1,2 This is particularly worrisome, because CoQ 10 appears to play a significant role in normal heart function.3 Depletion of CoQ 10 might be responsible for some of the side effects of beta-blockers. In one study, CoQ 10 supplements reduced side effects caused by the beta-blocker propranolol.4 The beta-blocker timolol may interfere with CoQ 10 production to a lesser extent than other beta-blockers.
Beta-blockers have been known to reduce levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol. According to one study, chromium supplementation can offset this adverse effect.5
The herb Coleus forskohlii relaxes blood vessels and might have unpredictable effects on blood pressure if combined with beta-blockers.

On my favorite cooking show "Chopped," I was horrified to see them repurposing our precious Shabbat delicacy – challah. by Marnie Winston-Macauley
You see, I can't cook. Whenever I tried making matzah balls, I had emergency services on speed dial. "I'm experimenting!" would send my family careening through the screen door like the Roadrunner. When our son was young, I baked one big cookie with his name on top. Did I know it would run together during the baking and emerge looking like a miniature European dictator?
My favorite show is "Chopped" where four "common" geniuses vie in three rounds (apps, main, and dessert), from mystery baskets that contain weird stuff I mostly never heard of (buffalo ears, Poussin, watermelon radish, earthy sunchokes – and bubble gum) in less time than it takes me to floss my teeth. More, they must mix, "transform" and "repurpose" this panoply of impossibles.
What could they do to transform challah?! And why would they?
However, a few weeks ago, one of the "secret" ingredients in the basket to be "re-purposed" was challah.
What could they do to "transform" challah?! And more,why would they?
I immediately summoned 3,500 years of Jewish history and I was determined to be defensive.
Our challah is not to be fooled with. We Jews are masters at imbuing ordinary acts with symbolism. For thousands of years challah has been our Shabbat and holiday bread, and as for meanings, challah alone needs a thesaurus.
The first appearance of the word "challah" appears in the Bible (Numbers 15:18-21) as follows:
…When you enter the land where I bring you, it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall set aside a portion for God. Of the first of your dough you shall set aside a loaf as an offering; as the offering of the threshing-floor, so you shall set it aside. From the first of your dough you shall give to God an offering throughout your generations.
The word "cake" is a translation of the Hebrew word "challah." The offering or portion of challah that was given to the priests (kohanim) was called the mitzvah of "hafrashat challah" – separating the challah.
(In the days of the Temple in Jerusalem, Jews were told to separate 1/24th of the doughs and give it to the kohanim every Shabbat. I'm the daughter ofkohanim, but I've yet to receive a morsel.)
On Shabbat, the two challahs placed on our festive tables represent the double-portion of manna that fell on Friday, the heavenly bread that fed Jewish people during their 40 years in the desert.
The strands, arms intertwined, symbolize love, truth, peace, creation, freedom, harmony, family connection, unity and justice – following the simultaneous commandments to remember, observe and guard Shabbat ("Shamor" and "Zachor").
Twelve humps recall the miracle of the 12 loaves for the 12 tribes of Israel.
Round loaves on Rosh Hashanah symbolize continuity.
Ladder shapes, before the Yom Kippur fast, represents ascending to great heights.
On Purim, small triangular loaves represent Haman's ears.
On Shavuot, two oblongs side by side resemble the Tablets of the Law.
Next to matzah (and chicken), challah is what makes our world go round.
Challah History
The word challah (ḥallah plural: challot/ḥalloth/khallos) (Hebrew: חלה) is also called khale (eastern Yiddish, German and western Yiddish), berches (Swabian), barkis (Gothenburg), bergis (Stockholm), birkata in Judeo-Amharic, chałka (Polish), colaci (Romanian),and kitke (South Africa). Yet the originEtymology of the word "challah" is as mysterious to me as me trying to bake one – from scratch.
The term challah comes from the Biblical commandment of "hafrashat challah," separating the challah for the cohen or priest. The word cChallah itself may come from the root word "Chalal" which means space. The term comes from the Biblical commandment of "hafrashat challah," or burning a bit to commemorate the destruction of the Temple.
Challah may come from "Gal" referring to a circle in Hebrew.
Others suggest "challah" may be derived from the amalgamation of: Hilu or hala, the Arabic root for "sweet." Nah.
The name "challah" was given applied to the bread in South Germany in the Middle Ages when it was adopted by Jews for Shabbat and holidays. John Cooper (Eat and Be Satisfied) notes that the first mention was in the 15thcentury. The term was coined in Austria. Before, the bread was called "berches," a name still used by Jews in some places today.
Every Friday evening, it's challah that heralds the Sabbath. Likewise on Jewish holidays.
The prayers and customs that accompany the mitzvah of making challah for the Sabbath are the same the world over, linking the present to the Book of Leviticus, when God instructed Moses to place two rows of six challot. For more than 4,000 years since, Jews have been delighting in challah for Shabbat.
On Friday night and holidays, this special, oh so delicious bread is also a reminder of the purity of the day of rest, as well as a remembrance of the deprivation of Eastern European Jews who lived on black bread during the week.
Special enough?
Wait! There's more …
Tearing vs. Slicing: On "Chopped" I saw them slicing the challah instead of tearing! (I ran for the Slivovitz.) Oy vey. Abraham is rolling.
Schlissel challah: Whether a key of dough is baked inside or adorns the top, some still engage in this controversial practice. The key is a form of prayer to open up the gates of livelihood. Other interpretations see the key as understanding the basic necessities in life as stored for us in shamayim(heaven) behind locked gates. All we have to do is ask God to unlock the gates and fill our homes with blessings. Just as He unlocked the gates of sustenance to provide for us in those days in Israel, may He provide us with our needs now.
Salvation: A recent custom, 40 women devote their prayers while separating challah to those in need of salvation (illness, a worthy mate, the birth of a child). Separating challah is a segulah (good omen) for an easy, safe birth and some separate challah at least once in the ninth month of pregnancy.
Special enough yet?!
So, with this history in mind I watched what they did to OUR challah on "Chopped." Oy, what they made! I don't want to see (or understand) challah béchameled, cassoletted, chiffonaded, moled, rouladed, confited, aiolied, rouxed, coulisdied, ceviched, sabayoned into a pate, or encrouted in something. I don't want to see white chocolate (which should be an extra Jewish sin) using our challah! (Never mind the recipes for Challah and Apple Stuffed Pork Loin? Mit bacon or ham? QUICK! THE SLIVOVITZ!)
While "transforming" may be a sign of genius in today's world, let them play with goat's feet, dragonfruit, and yes, even Halvah with fried pickles. But there are just some things you don't futz with.
No ratings, and yes, even "geniuses" should be required to "repurpose" that which has had a purpose to We Jews for millennia.
Just as we don't need to "transform" Judaism, even for ratings, our challah stands alone (except for maybe some raisins, and French toast) – and like Judaism, should be dosed straight, with love, and respect for this ever-lasting mitzvah!

Charlie Trout, author of Code FAQs and Code Question of the Day, has retired. For the rest of 2013, enjoy these snippets from his daily responses.
Follow specs or nameplate?
With regard to the correct size of conductors on any unit (e.g., RTUs, VAVs, AHUs), the nameplate rating or the specs shall be followed (whichever conductor is bigger). In other words, this nameplate overruled any addition to size of conductor. So, if the unit calls for 58.5 amperes (A), then you need to use the next standard size overcurrent protection device (which is 60A). Therefore, No. 6 copper is acceptable. If, for some reason, the engineer wrote down No. 4 on the specs, then it shall be followed. Electricians at job sites don't usually compute for any discrepancies. Most of the time, they follow whatever is written on specifications or the nameplate.
Let's go through this completely. The motor nameplate shows 58.5A. However 430.6(A)(1) requires that Table 430.250 be used for determining the motor full-load current (FLC) rating for three-phase alternating current (AC) motors instead of the actual motor nameplate FLC rating. Table 430.250 shows an FLC rating for a 50-horsepower (hp), 460-volt (V) motor to be 65A. The reason for using the FLC ratings shown in Table 430.250 is that the actual full-load current rating for motors of the same horsepower may vary, and requiring the use of the table ensures that, if a motor must be replaced, this can be accomplished without making changes to other component parts of the circuit. NEC 430.22 requires the conductors supplying a single motor to have an ampacity not less than 125 percent of the motor FLC as determined by Table 430.250. Multiply 65 × 1.25 = 81.2, and, as shown in Table 310.15(B)(16), this requires a 4 AWG conductor.
Section: Table 430.250, 310.15(B)(16), 430.22, 430.6(A)
Service panel makeup
I'm an inspector with a question on service panel makeup. I have an electrician that ties all the neutrals into pairs with a wire twist nut and pigtails out to the neutral bar. My understanding is that, unless he balances the disconnect placement with one disconnect on L1 and the other on L2 on two 20A disconnects, he can produce 40A on the number 12 neutral wire. Where can I read about this in the NEC?
Your reference is to three-wire circuits where the neutral conductor is shared. Check out the definition in Article 100 of Branch Circuit, Multiwire, where it shows two or more ungrounded conductors with a voltage between them and a grounded conductor that has an equal voltage between it and each ungrounded conductor of the circuit. If the two circuit conductors are placed on the same phase, the neutral conductor—which they are sharing—will carry the full load of both conductors rather than just the unbalanced load. So your second statement is correct. The other part of your question—where the installer is splicing neutrals together and pigtailing onto the neutral—is not in conformance with 408.41, which requires each grounded conductor to terminate in an individual terminal that is not also used by another conductor.
Section: 408.41
IC-rated fixtures and insulation
My inspector red-tagged my residential project, saying that the insulation in the attic cannot be in contact with the recessed fixtures I've installed. He said there must be at least 3 feet of clearance all around and no insulation installed above the fixture. The fixtures are listed and marked "IC" rated. Am I missing something, or is this inspector requiring something above Code minimum?
Section 410.116(B) covers installations of recessed fixtures and clearly indicates that, if the fixture is marked "Type IC," then thermal insulation can be in contact with the fixture. You may have to show the marking on the fixture and the section of the Code that specifically permits thermal insulation to be in contact where so identified. The inspector has the responsibility for interpretations and approvals of installations as provided in 90.4. Sometimes electrical contractors and electricians have to help them get it right.
Section: 410.116(B)
Supplying a heat-fan-light
Can a 1,500-watt (W) heat-fan-light unit be supplied from the required 20A receptacle branch circuit in the bathroom of a dwelling unit?
The full-load current of this unit exceeds 50 percent of the bathroom branch-circuit rating and is not permitted on the required receptacle circuit. The exception to 210.11(3)(C) permits other loads to be supplied from this 20A circuit if it supplies a single bathroom, but 210.23(A)(2) limits the load of utilization equipment that is fastened in place to 50 percent of the ampere rating of the branch circuit.
Section: 210.11(3)(C), 210.23(A)
What to use for an MBJ
A 200A service upgrade has taken place at a residence. The grounding electrode conductors are too short to reach the neutral bar but will make it to a listed and labeled auxiliary ground bar. The ground bar has been installed per the panel manufacturer's installation instructions using the supplied hardware. The electrical contractor has connected a properly sized bonding jumper, in this case No. 4 copper, from the neutral bar to the properly installed auxiliary ground bar. The green main bonding jumper (MBJ) screw is still in place. This creates a redundant MBJ. Given this situation, is it permissible to connect grounding electrode conductors to the auxiliary ground bar? Should the green screw remain in place, or should it be removed?
I believe you mean equipment grounding conductors (EGC), and, based on your information, it would be better to use the green screw as the MBJ because that is how the equipment is listed. The wire-type MBJ is not necessary if the screw-type MBJ is installed and connects the neutral bus of the equipment to the metal panel enclosure.
Section: 250.8
Doing the minimum
I've noticed with Code Question of the Day, no one asks whether exceeding the Code is permissible. Sometimes exceeding the Code is better than doing the minimum, which is what the Code requires. When I worked the shops, it helped the business [to provide] a better product, which the customers appreciated. Each and every one of us owes a responsibility to furnish the best job possible, and I believe if you explain to your customers, they won't mind the additional cost. Workmanship does count, and neatness is obvious.
CQD has often discussed NEC 90.1(B) Adequacy, which states in part that "Compliance therewith and proper maintenance results in an installation that is essentially free from hazard but not necessarily efficient, convenient, or adequate for good service or future expansion of electrical use." Also CQD has always pointed out to subscribers that the NEC states in 90.1(C) that it is not intended as a design specification—but thanks for the reminder. It costs just as much to do a job wrong as to do it properly, so I don't think there would be additional cost. The National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) has an industry-accepted standard NECA 1 2010, "Good Workmanship in Electrical Construction," that describes and illustrates neat and workmanlike electrical installations.
Section: 90.1(B) and (C)
Neutral at switch locations
There is a requirement to install a neutral at switch locations. The rule does not say one has to connect the neutral or use it. The issue is that I can still purchase an occupancy sensor switch with a neutral pigtail and a switch that has only an equipment grounding (green) conductor pigtail. Both are listed and available by more than one manufacturer. Is it a violation to install the switch without the neutral pigtail if both are listed and available when the NEC just requires the neutral to be installed in the switch location?
The NEC requires that, where switches controlling lighting loads are supplied by a grounded general-purpose branch circuit, the grounded circuit conductor (neutral) for the controlled lighting circuit shall be provided at the switch location. The intent of this new requirement is that the neutral is required to be installed in that location, so if a listed switch requires the neutral, it can be connected to the device. This keeps load current off the equipment grounding conductor.
The NEC does not currently require the connection of the installed neutral to that device, but perhaps it should. The listing of the product does. If there are two listed switches available on the market for installation that have a neutral and that do not, then it appears as though the product standard needs to be revised. There is a restriction of load-side grounding connections located in 250.24(A)(5) and 250.30(A) that could also be used to require the correct switch to be used.
Section: 404.2(C), 110.3(B), 250.24(A)(5) and 250.30(A)

Where did it come from? Why is it here? Are we still working with the bones from the real killer whale?
The idea came from the creative mind of Libby Palmer, the skeleton drawing from The Whale Building Book by Lee Post, and tracing and cutting from the hands of a few skilled volunteers.
Orca Skeleton drawing from Lee's book
The first step was projecting a life size picture of Lee's drawing onto a wall in Libby's house. We took turns tracing the bones onto heavy duty white paper, and then used razor knives to cut the bones out. Hanging the paper skeleton was not an easy task, but after several brainstorming sessions our paper skeleton is now hanging!
Our finished skeleton is 24 feet long (the real skeleton is approximately 22 feet).
In other Orca news:
Do you have a mystery bone you found on the beach, in the woods or in some other location? Bring it in and learn from our bone experts what animal it may have come from. Even if you don't have bones to share it is a great opportunity to stop in and learn something new!
Check out our flier...
Work with the real bones is moving right along. It has been great to have Lee Post , "The Bone Man", here all week to examine the bones and help brainstorm about our next steps. I'm glad he is so open and willing to share his knowledge with us. He has already shown and taught me a lot in his time here. Lee will be heading up the articulation when the bones are ready and the time has come to put this skeleton together.
Funding for PTMSC's Orca Project comes from Institute for Museum and Library Services.
Thanks to the Port Townsend Paper Company for donating the high-quality white-faced cardboard paper for our skeleton.

Darren Johnson has issued a report arguing that building new homes can't solve London's housing crisis alone. He suggests the Mayor should consider other solutions including smart regulations for the private rented sector, taxing land values and setting up land auctions.
But there are two policies you won't see in his list. Two policies that Greens often bring up in discussions about housing. I wanted to take some time this evening to explain why I think we should talk about them a little less, and in a very different light.
Before I launch in, I would heartily recommend this blog entry by Liz Emerson as an overview of the sources of our housing crisis, to give an idea of why we need to act. The Green Party's policy platform is chock-full of good ideas to rectify this, but when it comes to building new homes I think Greens sometimes find themselves on the wrong side of the argument, and sometimes put forward two ideas that frankly aren't good enough.
I have to make clear – while I worked with Darren on his report I am writing this blog entry in a personal capacity, and this should in no way be taken as reflecting Darren's views, those of my employer the GLA or of the Green Party.
I also have to make clear that this blog is about London. The national picture is bound to be quite different, but I think many of the basic points still hold.
We should use empty homes before building new ones
The claim runs as follows: there are lots of empty homes in London, we should be making better use of them before building new homes.
Thr problem: It's true that there are lots of empty homes in London, and that it would be good if we could make use of them. But there aren't nearly enough to make new housebuilding unnecessary. Not even close.
The latest figures from Empty Homes show that there were 74,811 empty homes in November 2011. But of those, only 29,540 were empty for more than six months. A home empty for a shorter period of time could well be in the middle of renovation or waiting for tenants. So fewer than 1% of homes in London are empty for long periods of time – not very many, is it?
Empty homes are also often quite hard to bring into use. They can be in a bad way, on housing estates awaiting demolition, or owned by some grumpy absentee landlord. Councils, the Mayor and the Government all try to solve these problems, and they could definitely try harder. Our 2012 manifesto pledged to:
Set up a clearing house to offer all publicly owned derelict land to Community Land Trusts and to make all suitable publicly-owned empty homes available to self-help co-operatives to bring them back into short-life or permanent use.
But it would be a tall order to bring every last empty home into use, and to stop any more becoming empty for more than six months.
What's more, the experts who advised the Government and the Mayor on housing need recommended that we need between 33,100 and 44,700 homes every year for twenty years just to deal with overcrowding and stabilise house prices. So those 29,540 long-term empty homes would deliver at most one year's supply, leaving at least another 630,000 homes to build over the following nineteen years.
We should re-balance the UK away from London
The policy claim: there are another 250,000 long-term empty homes elsewhere in the UK, and if prices in London are so overcooked because it's where all the jobs are, then we should give other regions a big economic boost to re-balance the nation. This way lots of people would move away to Plymouth, Preston and Perth, the market would settle down in London and the south east and we could make better use of the housing stock elsewhere.
The first problem with this argument is that there is already quite a large net flow of people out of London. This diagram from the GLA's strategic housing market assessment neatly illustrates the point:
The need for housing isn't coming from job-hungry Yorkshiremen, but from Londoners having lots of babies at a faster rate than people are dying, and from a large net migration from outside the UK. This has changed slightly during the recession for various interesting reasons, but the basic direction of movement remains. A lot of those people leaving are retired, or moving out to commuter towns to raise families. So in fact we would need to persuade even more people to leave London to seek work elsewhere, persuade Londoners not to have so many children, and persuade far more international migrants to settle elsewhere.
The second problem is that these very big changes are far beyond the wit of the Mayor of London and local councils. We can certainly talk about these big trends and our ideas for the national Government. But when the Conservative or Labour government continues to fail to grapple with these trends, we have to be ready to say what we would do if elected in Camden, Lewisham and Bromley. It's not good enough to throw up our hands and complain about the Government's economic strategy.
Sticking to the facts
We can definitely say we should do more to bring empty homes back into use, and to re-balance the UK's economy to boost the north, west, Wales and Scotland. I don't agree with those who tend to write these ideas off because they are so fixed on new housing supply being the silver bullet. There is no silver bullet, Darren's work shows that in no uncertain terms. We need every good idea we can get.
But we cannot pretend that they would be sufficient to meet London's chronic housing need and that they are therefore a reason not to build new homes. Doing so makes us as guilty as those who pretend we can solve climate change and carry on flying more and more if we just build some nuclear power stations and insulate our lofts. We know that the facts don't support the waffly half-hearted policies of other parties on climate change, so we should be sure that the facts support our policies on housing.
There are often issues with new housing developments. They can be on unsuitable land that should be protected for farming (or they can be on useless pony fields for little princesses); they can be low density car-dependent suburbs (or smart extensions with good transport links); they can feature too little affordable housing (or at least get some built in areas that desperately need it). But we must build housing in parts of the country where the need for housing is greater than the stock available. The social and economic costs are so severe that it should be one of our highest priorities to ensure this happens.
We needn't be slaves to the market – we can advocate building council and co-operative housing for example – but we also cannot be the party of wealthy elderly councillors blocking housing needed by younger constituents as the Integenerational Foundation has warned.

Mad for Foucault: Rethinking the Foundations of Queer TheoryColumbia University Press, 5. nóv. 2009 - 304 síđur Michel Foucault was the first to embed the roots of human sexuality in discipline and biopolitics, therefore revolutionizing our conception of sex and its relationship to society, economics, and culture. Yet over the past two decades, scholars have limited themselves to the study of Foucault's History of Sexuality, volume 1 paying lesser attention to his equally explosive History of Madness. In this earlier volume, Foucault recasts Western rationalism as a project that both produces and represses sexual deviants, calling out the complicity of modern science and the exclusionary nature of family morality. By reclaiming these deft moves, Lynne Huffer teases out exciting new strands of Foucauldian thought. She then revisits the theorist's ethical work in light of these discoveries, divining an ethics of eros that sees sexuality as a lived experience we are repeatedly called on to remember. Throughout her study, Huffer weaves her own experiences together with Foucault's, sampling from unpublished interviews and other archived materials in order to intimately rework the problem of sexuality as a product of reason. |

Religious toleration in Saudi Arabia – The dangers of text-messaging while Shiite
A Saudi woman has been sentenced to eight lashes by a court in Qatif for mistakenly sending a text message allegedly promoting the Shiite branch of Islam.That's slightly overstated, though only slightly. The public manifestations of any non-Muslim religion are strictly prohibited, of course, and although private prayers by non-Saudi workers or visitors may be tolerated, from time to time non-Muslims get arrested for the crime of praying in groups in private homes. But the situation of the Shiite minority, estimated at 10-15% and mostly concentrated in the eastern part of the country, is a bit more complicated. Shiites are subject to systematic discrimination and intermittent persecution, but in practice Shiite religious observance is usually tolerated as long as it is private and inconspicuous, and some Shiite mosques are even allowed in the Eastern Province—though at other times they get closed or demolished in periodic crackdowns.
The 30-year-old woman, identified only as YH, has been pronounced guilty for sending an SMS to another Saudi woman, containing a group of telephone numbers under the name 'Shiite Islamic religious services'.
One phone number apparently led to Ayatollah Sistani, Iraq's most senior Shiite cleric who is renowned throughout the Gulf for his learned counsel on Islamic law.
The Saudi Arabian state is a staunch adherent to the Sunni branch of Islam, and publicly disparages the Shia sect. Shia Muslims are not allowed to practice their faith, or even profess their sectarian beliefs in private.
It seems fair to describe the Saudi toleration of Shiite Islam as limited, grudging, and precarious. YH apparently went over the line, in the judgment of the authorities, by electronically propagating her heretical beliefs.
The act of calling people for Shiism, or openly advocating the Shia faith, has been pronounced as haram (forbidden and despicable in Arabic) by the Attorney General, who publicly demanded that YH be severely punished.
The sentence was eventually conferred by judge Davoud Mohammad al-Davoud, who, according to local sources, is an extremist sectarian with a history of harsh judgements.Of course, the Islamic Republic of Iran doesn't have a sterling record of its own when it comes to freedom of conscience in general or freedom of religion in particular. There is not even the pretense of granting non-Muslim religions legal or cultural equality; certain religious minorities, like the Baha'i, are persecuted with special ferocity; Muslims who convert to Christianity may be charged with apostasy and face possible execution; and so on. But there is no question that, overall, there is much more religious toleration in Iran than in Saudi Arabia (a country routinely described as our "ally" and as a quintessentially "moderate" Arab power). Everything is relative.
The defendant, from the district of Awamiyya, vigorously contested the judgement.
"According to claims by the Attorney General, I have sent the SMS wrongly to an unknown number, and this might happen for anyone else, so, I do not accept the accusations," YH told the court, according to a report in Mehr News.
However, despite her vehement protestation YH has been unable to win a reprieve against her sentence.

Get the newest version, send me your comments ***************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************** 1. What is tmview? tmview is a screen-previewer for .dvi-files compiled by TeX. It let's you see what your printed output will look like. You can choose between a black-and-white representation and greyscaling. You can choose an arbitrary zoomfactor (at some cost of performance). You can set marks to measure distances. You can search for textstrings. You can visit lots of DVIfiles, set bookmarks and get them saved to a startup-file. tmview does not support pxl-files since I think they are prehistoric. tmview ignores almost all 'special'-commands, sorry lads. tmview tries its best with virtual fonts and included .eps-figures. tmview is prepared to be linked with kpathsea. The current version supports three environments: Linux/svgalib, Linux/framebuffer and the X Window System (by Xlib). List of files: ./tmview/README this file: installing and compiling tmview ./tmview/CHANGES file of changes to tmview ./tmview/IAFA-PACKAGE specification of the package according to IAFA ./tmview/VER0103 empty file, indicating current version ./tmview/MakeFb makefile for dvifb.linux (Linux/sframebuffer) ./tmview/MakeSVGA makefile for dvisvga.linux (Linux/svgalib) ./tmview/MakeLX makefile for dvilx.linux (Linux/X Window System) ./tmview/MakeSolaris makefile for dvilx.solaris (Solaris/X Window System) ./tmview/src/* general source files ./tmview/fb/* source files related to the framebuffer support ./tmview/lX/* source files related to the X Window System support ./tmview/svga/* source files related to the svgalib support ./tmview/doc/tmview.tex manual (tex source): user interface ./tmview/doc/tmview.dvi manual (dvi file) ./tmview/doc/tm.ps example eps-file for the manual ./tmview/doc/tmview.1 man page: commandline options only ***************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************** 2. Compiling tmview tmview come with makefiles to go with Linux/svgalib, Linux/framebuffer, Linux/X Window System or Solaris/X Window System: ./tmview/MakeSVGA Linux/svgalib ./tmview/MakeFb Linux/framebuffer ./tmview/MakeLX Linux/X Window System ./tmview/MakeSolaris Solaris/X Window System To compile tmview, copy one of the above makefiles to "./tmview/Makefile". Then, make the directory "./tmview" the current directory. Now, running 'make' should generate the desired binary, i.e. ./tmview/dvisvga.linux Linux/svgalib ./tmview/dvifb.linux Linux/framebuffer ./tmview/dvilx.linux Linux/X-Window System ./tmview/dvilx.solaris Solaris/X-Window System In the case of dvisvga.linux, running 'make' as root will set the superuser flag of dvisvga.linux. This is usually required. As long as you don't change any compile-time options of tmview, compiling should go through without errors. In the rare case that certain include-files or libraries are not found, you will need to adjust the paths at the beginning of the Makefile. ***************************************************************************** EXTRA NOTES compiling for Solaris As there are serveral development environments for Solaris, it is very likely that you have to edit the makefile. I only tested compiling with GNU gcc, GNU binutils etc. Furthermore, you will need to get the GNU regex-package since others won't do. After configuring/compiling GNU's regex, copy the resulting "regex.o" to "./tmview/src/sol.regex.o"; copy "regex.h" to "./tmview/src/sol.regex.h". ***************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************** 3. Installation and configuration To install one of the above binaries, simply copy it to a suitable place, e.g. "/usr/local/bin/dvisvga" for the svgalib version. There is also a man-page "./tmview/doc/tmview.1", to be copied e.g. to "/usr/local/man/man1/dvisvga.1". The man-page provides information about the command-line options. These are meant to make tmview go with your TeX installation, e.g. they are used to set up search paths for fonts. The following shall give a quick guide to get tmview running. As an example, focus is on using dvisvga to view the .dvi-file "./tmview/doc/tmview.dvi". The latter provides detailed information about tmview's user interface, e.g. how to navigate within .dvi-files. Thus, "tmview.dvi" is essential to make best use of tmview. There is no additional info on installing tmview in tmview.dvi ;-). Watch out for the platform dependent EXTRA NOTES below. Make the directory "./tmview/doc/" the current directory. Make sure, that the fonts used by tmview.dvi exist, e.g. generate them by dvips -D 300 -o /dev/null tmview.dvi Here, 300dpi is assumed to be your standard resolution. Hence, you should replace "300" by "xxx" if you use an xxxdpi printer by default. Now, invoke tmview by dvisvga -r300x300 tmview.dvi It is essential that no "space" appears between the option flag "-r" and its argument "300x300". After searching for fonts, tmview should show up with the first page of "tmview.dvi", where the boarder of the page is indicated by a green rectangle. Below you should find a status line. tmview now accepts a wide range of commands, e.g. use the cursor keys to navigate, or press <?> twice for online help, or even <q> to quit tmview. If only lots of blue boxes (instead of glyphs) appear, tmview did manage to find your .tfm-files, but did not find the according .pk-files. If only the green border of the page shows up (check this by using the cursor keys!), tmview neither found .tfm- nor .pk-files. In both cases you will need to adjust tmview's search paths to your TeX installation. Typical places for fonts are "/usr/local/lib/texmf//", "/var/spool/texmf//", "/usr/local/teTeX/texmf/fonts//" a.s.o. In order to inform tmview about those paths, use the command-line options: dvisvga -r300x300 -f/where/pk-files/are// -t/where/tfm-files/are// tmview.dvi By the double slash "...//" all subdirectories are searched. Hence, with "-f/usr//:/var//" tmview should find all fonts, but becomes quite slow. See the man-page "./tmview/doc/tmview.1" for details. You can find the command-line-options of tmview to go with your TeX Installation just by playing along: they will be automatically saved to a user startup-file (default "~/.dvisvga","~/.dvifb" or "~/.dvilx"). Once you are satisfied, you can copy the user startup-file to the system startup-file, i.e. "/etc/dvisvga", "/etc/dvifb" or "/etc/dvilx". From now on, just calling "dvisvga" with no options at all will be fine. You can check the current command-line defaults by invoking tmview with the "-?" option. By editing the startup-file you can replace the line "verb 0" by "verb 1". This will make tmview a lot more verbose. ***************************************************************************** EXTRA NOTES dvisvga.linux Like with any other program using svgalib, the superuser flag has to be set to dvisvga. The makefile will take care of this, if it's run by the superuser root. Otherwise you will need to apply the following as root: chown root /usr/local/bin/dvisvga chmod 4755 /usr/local/bin/dvisvga Installing, configuring and testing svgalib requires some knowledge. The required information can be found in the docs of svgalib. dvisvga should "run on any system with svgalib 1.2.11 or above". But this is at the cost of performance and display quality (flickering screen, low resolution etc.). If you plan to use tmview frequently, it may be worth taking the time to optimize your svgalib setup. Otherwise, skip these extra notes. Usually, a Linux distribution comes along with an svga-library called "svgalib". In general, dvisvga goes with svgalib version 1.2.11 or above. If you recompile dvisvga with the VGAHASWAITIO compile-time option turned off, this will dramaticly reduce the speed of eps-figure rendering. However, svgalib version 1.2.5 will be sufficient in that case. If you use a graphics-adapter with an S3 chip, you should use at least svgalib 1.2.8 since the older versions have "certain problems" with those cards. In general, updating to the newest version of svgalib is recommended. See "ftp://sunsite.edu.unc/pub/Linux/libs/graphics/svgalib*". You should carefully read the docs of svgalib in order to set up the configuration file correctly. This usually is located in "/etc/vga/libvga.conf". Then test your configuration using the "vgatest" program which comes with svgalib. Unfortunately, this binary is not included in some Linux distributions. In this case, it is strongly recommended to get the svgalib sources and compile the demo programs which come along. "vgatest" is one of those. Running "vgatest" will list the available graphic- modes. Since dvisvga prefers 256-color-modes, and since you want more than a 320x200-pixel screen, (standard-)vga won't be enough: super-vga is required. Hence, your graphic-chip must be supported by svgalib. Make sure, that your favorite 256-color-mode works. To make tmview use that mode, set the variable $GSVGAMODE or use the "-d" command-line option of dvisvga. For the case your svgalib supports (standard-)vga only, you can still use dvisvga with the 640x480 mode at 16 colors (instead of 320x200 at 256 colors). Whenever either the desired resolution or 640x480 is not supported at 256 colors, the 640x480 mode at 16-colors is used. This is meant for easy installation on "old" notebooks and such. ***************************************************************************** EXTRA NOTES dvifb.linux The framebuffer device is a kernel module which allows to map the physical memory of your graphics adaptor in user space. As within the svgalib environment, the low level prodeures of such a device driver will depend on very harware specific issues as chipset and I/O addresses. But the framebuffer device has one extra "compatibility" bonus: the so called VESA framebuffer module switches to graphics mode right at boot time and can thus use the build-in real mode routines on your actual graphic card ... you have payed for it. So even rather exoctic graphic devices can now be addressed -- as long as they are VESA 2.0 compilant. A drawback of the VESA framebuffer module is that the boot time graphics mode cannot be changed without re-booting. See the kernel docs for how to compile the framebuffer device module. Note that the VESA framebuffer module may conflict with svgalib and SVGATextMode. If your machine runs SVGATextMode at startup you may want to alter this behaviour. dvifb was not tested with kernels below 2.2.1. dvifb requires a 256 pseudocolor mode. You can query --and eventually set-- the mode of the framebuffer device by the util "fbset". See the man-page. Examples for boot-time VESA modes are 0x101 and 0x103. The according module parameters are 0x301 and 0x303 respectively. Again, see the framebuffer kernel docs. dvifb uses by default "/dev/fb0" as framebuffer device. However, this can be overwritten by the environment variable $FRAMEBUFFER. A rather brutal test of your framebuffer device would be to copy som4 data to "/dev/fb0" and watch the screen beeing messed up. Be prepared to blind-type "reset" to get the console back to work. An example output of "fbset" indicating a framebuffer that suits tmview is as follows (only "geometry" is of relevance here): mode "name" # D: 48.001 MHz, H: 46.876 kHz, V: 75.121 Hz geometry 800 600 800 600 8 timings 20833 96 32 16 4 96 4 endmode Memory mapping the framebuffer requires root permissions, i.e. effective uid 0. Thus, the superuser flag has to be set to dvifb. The makefile will take care, if it's run by root. Otherwise you will need to apply the following as root: chown root /usr/local/bin/dvifb chmod 4755 /usr/local/bin/dvifb The program "gpm" is (ab)used as a mouse driver. The "-R" option of gpm puts gpm in "repeater mode" translating mouse data into mouse-systems protocol and piping it to "/dev/gpmdata". Make sure that the "-R" option is applied to gpm on your system. If you don't have gpm, you should disable the mouse support of dvifb. See compile time options below. dvifb was not tested with gpm below version 1.14. ***************************************************************************** EXTRA NOTES dvilx.linux/dvilx.solaris These go with the X-Window System. They only rely on Xlib, no motiv or such required. However, I'm not an expert with Xlib at all, just found a book about Xlib and played along. Thus, dvilx.linux and dvilx.solaris are not as portable as they could be. Probably, the popular xdvi is part of your TeX distribution, perfectly configured, ready to run and able to deal with lots of "specials". However, for the case that you've got used to a couple of tmview's features you can take them along to your new computer, now running with the X Window System ... dvilx still "searches text with regular expressions", "keeps bookmarks for visited dvi-files". If you are an expert, you may try to get dvilx running under Unix/X even if this not Linux/XFree or Solaris/Openwindows. Send me your patches for a true X support of tmview. If you don't get a tmview-window at all, use the DEBUGX option in "./tmview/lX/writelx.c". The following resources are used by tmview: DviLX.geometry standard geometry, e.g. 600x300+10+20 DviLX.foreground dvi foreground, e.g. black DviLX.background dvi background, e.g. white DviLX.sforeground statusline foreground, e.g. tomato4 DviLX.sbackground statusline background, e.g. OldLace DviLX.sfont statusline font, e.g. -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Note: The sfont should be a fixed-width-font. The file "./tmview/lX/DviLX" is an example for tmview app-defaults. There are also icons "./tmview/lX/tmview.x?m" to be used by window managers. ***************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************** 4. Compiletime options Hopefully, the above runtime-options allow configuring tmview to go with you TeX installation. There are also some compile time options you might like to adjust to your needs. They can be found in the defs*.h files indicated below. Probably some programming skills are required to understand what's going on in these files. However, those options which are meant to be adjusted are sort of "well documented". ./tmview/src/defsgen.h platform independent options ./tmview/svga/defssvga.h Linux/svgalib related options ./tmview/fb/defsfb.h Linux/framebuffer related options ./tmview/lX/defslx.h Linux/X Window related options ./tmview/lX/defssolaris.h Solaris/X Window related options In the platform independent section, you will find a couple of startup defaults, like how far the <up>/<down> keys scroll or whether tmview shall be verbose by default. There also is a constant to define the maximum amount memory in the glyph buffer. This effects how large a glyph (this includes eps-figures!) can be before being ignored. The platform dependent things are more interesting. Beside certain defaults for commandline arguments, one will find options to enable/disable eps-figure rendering by ghostscript enable/disable kpathsea support define name of user-startupfile/system-startupfile EXTRA NOTES ghostscript: If you don't have ghostscript on your system disable eps-figure rendering. Otherwise check the path specified in GSBIN. The quality (and the speed) of rendering can be adjusted by GSGREY. EXTRA NOTES kpathsea: Kpathsea is disabled by default because there are various versions of kpathsea and static linking makes no sense here. If your TeX-installation supports kpathsea, you can compile tmview with kpathsea support as well. You'll need the include-files and libkpathsea of exactly your TeX-installation to do so. I did test this with the kpathsea which comes along with dviljk-2.5, see CTAN in the "dviware" directory. I also tested with teTeX-0.4, see CTAN "systems/unix/". Finally, the Makefile (and of course defs*.h) has to be edited to enable kpathsea support. Depending on your version of kpathsea, it might be essential to place the binary dvilx/dvisvga/dvifb in the same directory as the other TeX related binaries, e.g. dvips. EXTRA NOTES mouse: If mousesupport is enabled in dvisvga while your mouse (or exotic touchpad ...) actually isn't supported by svgalib, you wont be able to move the screenmark. This is obviously not desired. In this case you might like to disable mousesupport for dvisvga in "./tmview/svga/defssvga.h". This line of thought also applies to the framebuffer version dvifb. EXTRA NOTES X-Window System: tmview/dvilx runs faster, if the depth of your screen is known at compiletime. Because of my poor equipment (Linux on a pc, no fancy X-terminals) this is only tested for 8bit and 16bit screens. See the file "./tmview/lX/writelx.c" to set things up for your needs. To watch what's going on when tmview tries to find its way to the XServer, setting up colors, asking for fonts and so, set DEBUGX in writelx.c . This helps if no tmview window shows up at all. EXTRA NOTES non-i386 architectures: Of course I realize that there are several non-i386 architectures. The clean way of dealing with machine dependand stuff is to make use of <sys/types.h> and such. Unfortunately I didn't. In a future version I shall carefully review the code from this perspective. In the meanwhile there is on crucial compiletime option to set up how many bits actually make a "long int". On i386 these are 32. Thus, enable "#define BMLONG32" in the platformm dependant "defs*.h", e.g. "./tmview/lX/defslx.h". On Alpha systems a "long int" is made up from 64 bits. Here, "#define BMLONG64" needs to be enabled. tmview will issue a runtime warning message if it figures out that ends don't meet here. ***************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************** 5. Get the newest version, send me your comments Final releases are to be found on CTAN ftp-servers such as "ftp.dante.de". Since uploading to an ftp-server is some work, for both, me and the supervisors of the server, this is not done too often. Bugfixes and minor changes are therefore uploaded on "members.aol.com", my "private" ftp partition. Make the directory "/qelis" current, even if it is NOT listed by the dir command. There you will find any tmview related stuff in tar-gz-archives named "tmvXXXX.tgz" where XXXX is the release number. You may have some ideas how tmview could become better. You might have added code to process some of these fancy special command some macro-packages spread all over the dvi-files they produce. Bug reports or even fixes are welcome too. firstname.lastname@example.com ******************************************************************************* End of README******************************************************************

New to creating AI - where to start?
I'm making a "Mario Like" game and I was wondering how would an AI generally work? I'm thinking of that it could just go to the player and fire whenever the player is x amount away from it but this is just confusing me. I'm not asking for anyone to write an AI, I'm asking about where to get started on building one or any experience you have with building an AI.
